With the onslaught of American Idol, everyone thinks they can sing. It’s a good thing that there are Simon Cowells out there to set the tone deaf straight. Even hottie Vanessa Minnillo had a go at belting out a tune the other night at a celebrity event. And Nick Lachey got to silence her Cowell-style.

Minillo was an honoree at a teenage pregnancy prevention event where she introduced singer/songwriter Jackson Browne. As the former Miss Teen USA announced Browne’s performance, she attempted to sing one of his songs. Apparently it wasn’t good.
